Wisdom in Chains formed in 2001 as somewhat of an international side project among members of PAHC legends Krutch and Holland bruisers Dare Devil. The concept slowly took on a life of it’s own and by 2005 Wisdom in Chains had solidified a US lineup that was more a hardcore super group than a new band in the scene. The Pennsylvania underground officially had it’s new voice, and the bands second studio album ‘Die Young’ was the soundtrack that crowned the band kings of Pennsylvania Hardcore, where they still remain undisputed nearly fifteen years later. Running the gamut of profile labels like Eulogy Recordings and I Scream Records the bands do or die blue collar work ethic paid off as they rose through the ranks and were soon doing main support tours with NY royalty Sick Of It All and Madball to name a few. By 2010 Wisdom in Chains was headlining their own tours in Europe and have since become a key fixture on every worldwide hardcore festival. 2016 will witness the bands much anticipated 5th studio album titled – ‘The God Rhythm’ backed by buzzworthy Fast Break! Records.
